Have you had your medical examination this year?ThyroidStill healthy?

Thyroid disease is a common disease of the endocrine system. With the acceleration of the pace of modern life, the overall incidence of thyroid disease is increasing, younger, relapsed and refractory diseases are increasing.

Recent survey data from 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country (a total of 78,470 samples) show that the overall prevalence of thyroid disease in Chinese adults over 18 years of age is as high as 50 per cent, and the prevalence of thyroid dysfunction [hyperthyroidism (hyperthyroidism), subclinical hyperthyroidism, hypothyroidism (hypothyroidism), subclinical hypothyroidism] is 15.17 per cent, with subclinical hypothyroidism having the highest prevalence of 12.93 per cent; the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies was 14.19%; the prevalence of thyroid nodules was 20.43%; and the prevalence of goiter was 1.17%.

Although the situation of thyroid diseases in China is grim, most thyroid problems can be well controlled with proper diagnosis and treatment.

Today, I will talk to you about this important endocrine organ-thyroid gland.

What does the thyroid gland do?

The thyroid gland is located in the middle and upper front of the neck, shaped like a butterfly, like a shield armor.

Thyroid gland is the largest endocrine gland in the human body, which regulates the metabolic activities of the body in all aspects. Thyroid hormone secreted by thyroid gland is also one of the indispensable important regulatory hormones for human growth and development.

The hypothalamus will choose whether to let the adenohypophysis secrete thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) according to the body's condition. When the thyroid feels the elevated TSH level, it tries to absorb the iodine in the body, synthesize and release thyroxine.

The thyroid is vital to our health,Important body functions such as energy level, temperature control, heart rate, the speed of food through the gastrointestinal tract, the speed of sugar production and consumption in the body, bone loss, etc., all require the participation of the thyroid gland.

No matter what you eat, without thyroxine produced by the thyroid gland, the nutrients you consume cannot be converted into energy.

Thyroid "BUG" how to do?

Poor work and rest, poor diet and mental factors may lead to abnormal thyroid function.When there is a "BUG" in thyroid function, it will not only affect the metabolic function of the human body, but also affect the endocrine situation.It can also be accompanied by goiter, mood abnormalities, weight abnormalities, unresponsiveness, and so on.

So remember to take blood to check thyroid function when you find the following abnormalities.

2 cases of abnormal thyroid function

hyperthyroidism	TSH decreased. May be accompanied by fear of heat, sweating, excitement, increased appetite, weight loss, resting heart rate tachycardia, limb weakness and other symptoms.
hypothyroidism	TSH increased. It may be accompanied by cold, rough skin, sparse and dry hair, brittle nails, weight gain, chest tightness, abdominal distension and constipation, slow response, and swelling of limbs.

In case of abnormalities, timely treatment with doctors, most of them can be improved within a few months.

with thyroid disease,Does the diet need to be adjusted?

In order to keep your thyroid healthy, it's important to figure out which diet your thyroid problems correspond.

Question	Dietary recommendations
No thyroid problems	iodine-appropriate diet
hyperthyroidism	Avoid iodine diet
Hashimoto's hypothyroidism	low iodine diet
thyroid nodule	iodine-appropriate diet
Thyroid cancer status post surgery (half-cut)	Do not eat kelp, laver, seaweed, shrimp shellfish, seafood not more than once a week, the other casually. People living in coastal areas eat non-iodized salt

Pay attention to thyroid testing, guard your "life gland"

WESAIL launchedThyroid Function Series Test Kit, with a single-channel fluorescence immunoassay analyzer, help thyroid detection faster, more accurate, more sensitive and more convenient.

TSH detection kit (immunofluorescence method)

Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is the main factor that regulates the growth of thyroid cells and the synthesis and secretion of thyroid hormone. It is synthesized and secreted by pituitary thyroid stimulating hormone cells and is negatively regulated by thyroid hormone.

Small changes in the concentration of free thyroid lead to significant adjustments in the TSH concentration in the opposite direction. Thus, TSH is a very specific parameter for testing thyroid function and is particularly suitable for early detection or exclusion of dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid central regulatory loop.

★Thyroid Function Series Products★

Product Name	clinical application
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) detection kit (immunofluorescence method)	It is one of the important indicators to assist in the diagnosis of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism and to study the hypothalamus-pituitary-thyroid axis.
Free triiodothyronine (FT3) detection kit (immunofluorescence method)	It is a specific indicator for the diagnosis of T3 hyperthyroidism and is not affected by changes in binding protein concentration and binding force.
